This is a chatlog, the recap writup is featured
here
| Kyle: | So last time we left off with you all opening a door, finding skeletons, shutting the door and letting Stonemaul get a prayer in to his god who responded... dramatically. |
* Gharza Brokentooth gives that Missile Shield one more try: result: «succeeded by 4 »
| Gharza Brokentooth: | THERE we go. |
| Kyle: | I'm not going to allow you to attempt for an ambush at this point. I also don't see how a backstab is possible from this position. Any debate from the floor? |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | For those playing the home game: Fiona, Bowgre, Stonemaul, and Vondur all have +1 DB; this doesn't allow blocks without a shield, but does add to dodge and parry as well as block. Gharza (now) has a Missile Shield, and feels much better about dealing with bow-wielding skeletons. And we already started the encounter, so ambush and backstab definitely don't apply. |
| Kyle: | I'm starting the round then. |
| Teetonka: | Skeletons are fast |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | It's amazing how quickly you can motor when you get rid of all that skin and muscle that's weighing you down. If you like, we can experiment with this later. |
| Starslayer: | Can I get a map centre or something? |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Try '/goto Stonemaul'. |
| Stonemaul Ironbeard: | thanks |
Vondur Stouthammer has received initiative.
| Kyle: | Anyone willing to Play Vondur tonight? I can shoot you a pdf of the character. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Kick it at me, sorry. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Colarmel doesn't care if he lives or dies, right? |
| Kyle: | Sorry, thought I had pdf loaded. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | I'll need control on the token when you get a chance, too. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | For now: VONDUR - Wait until the door is opened, then Move through it, AoD (Dodge). |
| Vondur Stouthammer: | What Gharza just said. |
Bowgre Stretazuma has received initiative.
| Stonemaul Ironbeard: | (I thought the door was open, as stonemaul had hit them with a holy prayer) |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | (I thought Stonemaul closed it, then prayed.) |
| Kyle: | Bowgre announced switching to sword |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | (If it's open, then that triggers the wait!) |
| Stonemaul Ironbeard: | (That would have been really smart- lets say he did that) |
| Teetonka: | Teeto closed it :D |
| Kyle: | Anyone want to run bowgre? |
| Teetonka: | Teeto opened it, panicked, and closed it. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Pass me Bowgre's sheet. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | I am efficient. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Is Kalzazz here or am I also Fiona? |
| Teetonka: | One orc delving team |

| Gharza Brokentooth: | Pick up next week! |
| Kyle: | I don't think I'm going to soak any more party resources, just time. |
| Kyle: | no I can still do some damage |
| Kyle: | lets game it out next week. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | You'll have to get through Gharza and Vondur to get to Teeto, but that's possible. And Stonemaul's at half dodge so if he gets swarmed he's in trouble. |
| Kyle: | I've seriously wounded 2 characters. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Vondur's paired crits there really swung the fight at the hallway back to 'Teeto's gonna live'. |
| Kyle: | the spear skeles were actually pretty clutch |
| Kyle: | If I had to build this again, I'd put in more of those. |
| Starslayer: | there are reasons why the spear is THE weapon of war. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | They're reach 1 by RAW ftr. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Arent they 2 if wielded 2 handed? |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Skeletons are all supposed to be 1h weapon + shield. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | But it's definitely raw-legal (and suggested) to equip them differently from the stat block. |
| Kyle: | yeah, I couldn't see how the army of skeletons did anything impressive without at least a little more reach |
| Kyle: | I suppose a lot more bows could have done it. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | I am shocked the bows did something cool (well, cool from the archers point of view) |
| Starslayer: | bows are scary- I was kind of suprised by the rest of the group's just ignoring the archers. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | I would have done half of them as archers in two ranks with another two ranks: shields and swords/axes/maces in front, 2h spears in the back. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Low ROF and Thr damage = ignore for later |
| Kyle: | and didn't give mace guys shields to somewhat make up for the spears |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Anyway, Gharza was ignoring the archers because she put missile shield on herself. |
* Gharza Brokentooth is kind of selfish.
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Not like, disadvantage levels of selfish. |
| Starslayer: | thr-imp damage, which is still quite scary, and the low RoF is a definate tradeoff, but they get to place those wherever they like while largely ignoring others. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | But 'doesn't have tactics, doesn't care about the other PCs much'. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Anyway. In my ideal world, team PC would have stayed together, holding the line at the front with Bowgre off to the flanks. |
| Starslayer: | which means that tactically it should go down roughly like it did- all three archers choose one target and try to pincussion. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | That would have let Fiona block and parry for the team. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | With Vondur and Gharza using reach to get over their heads. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Instead we scattered. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | And got cut up some. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | PCs need to spread and have room to manuever so they can try to avoid being forced into close combat, we were in a lot of danger jammed together in the doorway |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | It happens. |
| Starslayer: | that and we needed to get to the archers. |
| Starslayer: | because you can't parry arrows. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Close combat leads to grappling leads to horrible death |
| Starslayer: | (well you can but the penalties are quite high) |
| Kyle: | Pretty sure everyone in the party can out grapple a skeleton |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Skeleton moves into close combat with Fiona > Vondur, behind Fiona, wallops it. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | But theres not 'a' skeleton |
| Kyle: | I'm actually super thankful for fragile unnatural here. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | More of them start stacking up the penalty to *each other* for it. They're not skilled grapplers, so DX-13. |
| Kyle: | meant nothing clung to life for way too long. |
| Starslayer: | yea- the scary thing about grapples is not the 'one' its the '5 skeletons charge into your hex and take turns nibbling at your vitals while the rest of the party desperately tries to beat them off you while avoiding a similar fate' |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | You guys have not enough faith in the power of dodge-14. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Grappling is a leading cause of death and defeat in StarSlayers games |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Shield walls work. GURPS reflects this reality. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Roman legions weren't defeated by legions of naked Celts running in to hug them through the tortoise. :P |
| Starslayer: | true- but I don't think any of the PCs have shield wall training. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Fiona does. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | I do! How I can use a large shield and not tank my attacks |
| Starslayer: | oh- cool, but it does require at least three right? |
| Fiona Firedrake: | No, I can sacrifice my block to defend someone next to me |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Shield-wall training is 'block for adjacent allies'. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Sacrificial block is 'block for allies behind me'. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Sacrificial Parry is 'parry for adjacent allies'. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | I admittedly am not sure how adjacent is defined |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | "In any of your four side hexes", basically. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | If they're standing directly in front of you, you can't help them. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | They shouldn't be standing in front of the shieldmaiden. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | heh, and due to my glacial move, in front of me is the usual place of my allies |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Move 3 is great. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | You're not a martial artist or swashbuckler. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Before this the lowest move I can ever recall playing was 5 |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | That's fine. Enemies will come to you, you'll ignore their attacks because you've got a parry that exceeds the critfail threshold, and then you get to make them regret attacking you. |
| Kyle: | but getting some more ST to ease off that encumbrance penalty can't hurt. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | More ST and less encumbrance never hurts. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | But 3 seems to work fine once battle is joined as long as enemies cooperate by moving towards me |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | But heavily armored warriors will be move 3-4. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | If you're faster than that, put on more armor. |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | Leave 'zip around the battlefield' to the scouts. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | I am admittedly not experienced in that style of gaming |
| Gharza Brokentooth: | The Mass Combat fantasy game I play on Thursdays has orc legionnaires who are routinely move 2-3. |
| Fiona Firedrake: | Im much more used to 'wear armor only to the extent it doesnt slow you down' |
